Arena:
  You and your opponent can only choose untapped creatures. [D'Angelo 01/18/95]
+ Only works if both creatures are untapped.  It fizzles if it finds one of
    them is already tapped. [Aahz 12/13/94]  Even though only one part of 
    a spell fizzles when a mutli-target spell finds a target is invalid, this
    one effectively completely fizzles since that target will be unable to
    receive or deal any damage.
  Walls can fight in the Arena. [Aahz 12/02/94]
  Attack abilities like the Basilisk's do not take affect. [Peterson 11/15/94]
  Creatures are chosen when the effect is used, but they don't become tapped
    until the effect resolves. [Aahz 12/21/94]
  The power of the creatures when the effect resolves is used to determine
    how much damage is done. [Aahz 03/07/95]
  In multiplayer games can choose a different opposing player each time it
    is used. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]
